This beautiful image was taken in the Roosenekal area. These exquisite arums are only found in certain areas around November. Specific to the surrounds they light up the veld with their dazzling colour. May 2011 be a remarkable year for you.

Weekend Away - Dullstroom
We have such fun planning exploratory weekends away.
This past weekend we went to a small trout farm called Willowcreek. Off the Roosenekal - Lydenburg road, we chose Loeries Loft a delightful wooden cottage with four bedrooms [two en suite and two downstairs - sharing a bathroom] as our weekend abode. The lounge, diningroom, kitchen is open plan with great facilities.
The log cabin overlooks a trout dam and although we didn't fish, we could certainly see fish rising in the evening. We viewed beautiful sunsets and exquisite sunrises. Two other cottages are available to rent and they look just as pleasant.
I spent a great deal of the weekend reading and enjoying the surrounding calm. David of course spent the weekend photographing anything from waterfalls, zantedeshcias [yellow arums only found in November in the area] in rocks and of course the mist. It rained, the sun shone and it rained. But all good for the photographer.
We had a good meal at a small restaurant in Dullstroom and a very indifferent coffee and scones at another on the Monday on our way home.
Once again we met interesting people, from land owners, to furniture manufacturers to farm workers and cattle farmers all who went out of their way to assist David in his quest for the perfect image.

The 'master' creating images
This area is certainly a potential venue for future Creative Escapes adventures.
